Could you just go into briefly like what are some really big examples of things that can be destructive as far as polyunsaturated fats? All of the liquid cooking oils and fish oil are high in polyunsaturated fats. Olive oil has the virtue of tasting very good in small quantities, but it contains 8% or 10% of the toxic polyunsaturated fats. So I think it's good to be restrained in use of even a good oil like olive oil. Butter and coconut oil are 3%, so even those, I think, should be used in moderation, making sure that you're able to burn immediately the fats that you're eating so that there isn't a noticeable amount of polyunsaturated fats to go into storage to build up and deteriorate and come out later as a sort of terminal stressor.
